Conrad the Cat is a fictional animated Warner Bros. character who was created by Chuck Jones,[1][2] and starred in three shorts in the 1940s.
He was voiced by Mel Blanc[3][4] in the first two shorts, and Pinto Colvig in Conrad the Sailor. Conrad having been voiced by Colvig, has been compared to Goofy,[5][1] but has been criticized as having "only mannerisms (he rubs his nose a lot and grins, and giggles foolishly), and not a personality."[5]
Shorts
He first appeared in the 1942 color short The Bird Came C.O.D.[5][2] before featuring in Porky's Cafe (in black and white)[2] and Conrad the Sailor (in color).[2][6] In Porky's Cafe, Conrad appeared with Porky Pig;[4] in Conrad the Sailor, he appears with Daffy Duck.[7] All shorts were released in 1942.
